Tax on partner renumeration - taxable at the hands of partner?
Lets say Profit is 10,00,000 (10 Lakhs) every month 60% of profits is paid as partner remuneration (Each Partner gets 3,00,000) 40% of profits is kept aside and 30% income tax is paid on it (remaining amount is paid back as remuneration to partners) Now is the initial remuneration of 3,00,000 taxable in the hands of the partner?
Asked 7 years ago in Income Tax
If the profit before remuneration to the partners is Rs 10 Lakh p.m., the limit under the Income Tax Act for allowing remuneration as an expenditure in the hands of the firm will be as under:
Net profit p.a. Rs 120 Lakhs
Remuneration allowed:
I st 3 Lakhs 90% Rs 2,70,000/-
Balance 117 Lakhs @ 60% Rs 70,20,000/-
Total Rs 72,90,000/-
Now the remuneration actually given to both the partners @ Rs 6 Lakhs p.m. for two partners
Total remuneration actually paid to the partners by the firm Rs 72,00,000/-
Remuneration allowed as per the Income Tax Act Rs 72,00,000/- ,as it is less than the limits specified under the IT Act.
The Net profit of the firm after remuneration Rs 48,00,000/-
The firm will pay tax on Rs 48 Lakhs, subject to allowances and deductions as per the Income Tax Act.
The remuneration of Rs 72 Lakhs in the hands of the partners will be taxed as business income under the Income Tax Act.Thus each partner will pay tax on Rs 36 Lakhs , his share of remuneration of Rs 72 Lakhs, subject to the allowances and deductions under the Income Tax Act.
